Chapter 2

Finnick

Just a dream

Annie is right next to me and we are in an arena, just like the one that drunk, Abernathy won in. We are standing next to each other, holding hands and kissing. This is because we are the last two left in the arena. This is the last kiss we will ever have. This is my last hour of life. I know that Annie will not like the idea but I am going to kill myself to let her win. She can live better without me than I can live without her. I pull away, and pick up a knife. Annie try's to take the weapon out of my hands, obviously aware of what I'm planning to do. Then she falls to the ground. My body reacts faster than I can think. I try to run to her, but am restricted by some invisible rope. I run as hard as I can but I'm not moving. I start to see blood trickle out of Annie's nose. I think to myself "well at least that's the worst of it". Only, I thought to soon. She starts to scream a loud pain filled scream at the top of her lungs. When she rolls onto her belly I see I cute little fur ball on her back. Then, I look closer and see that it has fangs at least 6 inches and claws like no other animal I have ever seen. I know why Annie's screaming, this little mutt is digging his teeth into her back. She is in so much pain and I can't do anything to comfort her. Then she is just lying there with her eyes locked in mine. I watch the life drain out of them, then collapse in a heap ready to die myself.

I wake up screaming and find Annie in my arms looking scared but still alive. I pull her close to me and kiss her on the cheek. Then she hugs me and falls back asleep still with her arms around me.
